We had to sell our chickens when we moved from our last house due to being in a temporary place for a few months. We are getting ready to move into a permanent house and would like to get chickens asap. We disassembled the coop and brought it with us, so we have that. Last time we bought chickens that were about 18 months old. We're thinking of buying baby chicks this time. Advantages or disadvantages of either age? Or if we buy some older chickens and baby chicks, would that work? I'd like to avoid stressing either the older chickens or the young chicks when they are introduced to each other, so maybe this is not the best route?
If it matters, we had 12 chickens before, and the coop will easily accommodate more. 12 is the minimum # we'd need. (We have a large family.)
